Cross Country 2017

What a beautiful day to run cross country. Lots of excited kids, nervous kids but most of all kids with a fantastic attitude. I was very proud of all the tamariki that achieved their own personal goals. Great to see everybody cheering and supporting their friends.

HES Cross Country

Today we ran in our school cross country. It was a fantastic day, with everyone trying their best and achieving their personal goal. Even the rain waited till the running was over.

Room 10 did a wonderful job of supporting the Kowhai and Totara runners, cheering and running alongside them to encourage them and keep them moving. Thank you Room 10, you are stars!

Cross Country Training

Greg from Project Energize came to our school and taught us some great ways to get ready for the school cross country

We played a game where one team had to pick up cones and turn them one way while the other team had to turn them back over! The winning team had the most cones one way up. It was an exhausting game!

This game was finding six different colours from a colour code that Greg made. You had to find the colours in the order he had on his code. It was a fast running activity and we were puffed at the end!

These were two of many activities that we did to prepare us for running in the HES cross country.
